I have been hankering for the wonderfulness of line-dried sheets. However, as you know Susan, I live in an apartment. There is, actually a deck behind the apartment, and a porch in front. But the latter is very shady and cool, and faces the street.

The deck is shared with my upstairs neighbors, some very fashionable young women, who I'm sure would be opposed to a permanent clothesline. Such an addition to the facilities could interfere with their various summer activities, such as lying on beachtowels and soaking up rays.

So, I've been looking (on the internet) for some device which can be used, and folded up and put away until next time, yet is sturdy enough to hang with bedsheets. I was hoping maybe you or your readers would have some ideas for me?

There is actually a nice big hill covered with clover right behind the deck, so the sheets would smell great.

Assurance that you are a clean gal - and like the color red. Funny that so few commented here - mild winter when you can hang outside and still have 'em dry. I love having a picket fence so I can put things on top of the pickets to dry (especially slippers and workout shoes)

Okay...did you like wash one red wash cloth and the entire load came out looking like 10 shades of red? Because that's something I've done a couple of times(perfection is distant concept for me) Or are you just a very red-wearing family?????? Love the r-rated picture!

How could one NOT look with an invitation like that?When I lived in a hotter, drier climate I used to spread my laundry over huge lavender and rosemary shrubs to dry in the sun. ALL my laundry. In the front yard. I figured if anyone wanted to look that closely they could look to their heart's content.

I had to look - it was just too tempting! I have found that you can still use a clothesline when the weather is cold - your clothes will FREEZE dry (just like your hair if you go out to feed the critters in the morning after takning a shower!).

Reminds me of a story my boyfriend tells of growing up in extreme-Northern Maine, when they'd dry their clothes in the winter. When they went inside, they'd be hard and frozen, but a trip over the radiator made them soft and dry...

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day. I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
